@stvnews: A US Navy warship has been hit by a missile and sunk off the coast of Scotland during a planned exercise. The USS Klakring was struck by a missile from the USS Paul Ignatius as part of a joint military operation with UK and US forces at the Ministry of Defence’s Hebrides range. A video posted by the US Naval Forces on social media showed the exercise during Atlantic Thunder 2026. The ship, which was decommissioned in 2013, was completely torn apart by a missile before sinking. The exercise involved the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force operating across the surface, subsurface, and air domains. #uk #news #scotland #usa #usnavy
